Short, Sophisticated Hairstyles for Thick Hair

Tia Mowry Short Bob with Bangs

Tia Mowry's chin length, black bob is super sleek for straight hair, thick or fine. Get the look:1. If hair is not naturally straight, start by applying a straightening cream/serum to wet hair and blowing dry with a flat paddle brush.
2. After hair is almost dry, use a small round brush to blow hair out rolling under and lifting a the roots.
3. For bangs, make sure not to lift too much when drying, you don't want them to bubble over your forehead. So not cute.
4. Spritz this easy 'do with a flexible-hold hairspray to finish the look.

Neve Campbell Sophisticated Bob

Neve Campbell's straight, sophisticated bob is a great look for working women. How to get it:1. Apply a straightening cream and blow dry hair straight using a round brush.
2. Instead of parting your hair straight down the middle, part it just a little bit off-center to add sophistication.
3. Finish by applying a frizz-fighting product to ward off flyaways while you run to meetings all day.

Keyshia Cole Short, Formal Hairstyle

Keyshia Cole's swept-back, twisted hairstyle is a fun, faux updo for short hair. Steal her style:1. Start by blow drying your hair straight, brushing it toward the back as you dry.
2. Once hair is dry, lift a 2-inch section and tease just at the roots. Next, loosely twist the section before pinning it in place.
3. Continue teasing, twisting, and pinning sections until all hair at the crown is off of your face.
4. Spray with hairspray to hold.

Katie Holmes Short, Blunt, Brunette Hairstyle

Katie Holmes' short, blunt hair is a dramatic style if you're going to a formal occasion and want something a little out of the ordinary. What to do:1. To start, apply a straightening cream to damp hair or an anti-frizz serum if your hair is already stick-straight.
2. Then, blow dry your hair straight with a paddle brush.
3. Next, go over your hair with a straightener, making sure all the waves are out.
4. Then, tease the hair at the back of the crown of your head with a comb (though nothing too drastic). Smooth the top layer of hair over the teased section.
5. Finally, create a side part, and apply pomade or shine serum, and tuck hair behind ears to finish off the look.
